In order for your business's email marketing campaign to be successful, it is essential to increase the size of your mailing list. One of the most effective ways to build your mailing list is to gather the emails of those who have already purchased your products or services. If you use the email marketing tool MailChimp, and PayPal for receiving payments for products and services, you can link them together so that your customers' PayPal email addresses will also be included in your MailChimp mailing list.

1

Log into your MailChimp user account and choose "Account" from the menu at the top of the page. Click "Integrations" in the "Extras" section and scroll down the list to find the PayPal option. Click the PayPal icon.

2

Choose the list for directing the new emails to from the drop-down box beside "Select a list." Copy the web address from the window that appears.

3

Enter your PayPal user name and password after clicking on "PayPal account" in the new window that appears. The PayPal platform will open in another browser tab.

Click the button at the bottom of the next page that says "Choose IPN Settings." Paste the web address that you copied into the box beneath "Notification URL." Click on "Receive Notification Messages" and then save your changes by clicking "Save."

6

Return to the MailChimp site in the other tab. You should now be able to see a green dot beside the PayPal connection status. If this is not the case, log out of MailChimp and then log in again. Check the connection status by clicking on "Accounts" followed by "Integrations."
